Garfield, Odie and Jon are at the library. Garfield isn't too fond of being there.
-I hate the library, he said. It's too quiet and boring around here.
Then Arlene entered the library too, which made Garfield happier.
However, Nermal also entered the library, bringing Garfield down once again.
-Hi, Arlene, Garfield said. What brings you here?
-What brings everyone else here, she answered. I'm here to read.
Why don't we all do it, instead of being bored?
-That's a good idea, Arlene, Jon replied.
Garfield and the gang find a nice section where they can sit down and read.
But Nermal isn't interested in reading story books. He's more interested in comics, which can be found in a library.
-You know, Arlene, Nermal asked. How did you learn how read in the first place? I mean, you don't live anywhere…
- I've learned to read by reading stop signs and old newspapers people throw in the trash, Arlene replied.
Nermal's about to burst into laughter, but Arlene gives him an angry stare, and the laughter dies once he looks at her.
Garfield is still bored.
-I still hate reading, he uttered.
-Sheer up, Garfield, Arlene replied. Reading isn't boring. There are lots of books to enjoy.
Just look at Odie. He seems to have found a very interesting book.
Indeed, Odie was hooked into an old classic: Hansel and Gretel.
Garfield was still not interested in picking up a book, even if he's familiar with said book. But he has found a solution.
-Who needs to read, when you can see the story in front of your eyes? Garfield said.
-What do you mean, Garfield? Arlene asked.
- We can imagine the story, he replied. Just concentrate and imagine.
Arlene, Odie and eventually Nermal all join in on Garfield's suggestion, and suddenly they were all in a giant lawn, with a gingerbread house not very far from sight.
Arlene was amazed. She had no idea imagination could be so strong.
